Roberts! j & Co., for the treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by neans of these ustly celebrated instruments. He llias now used them for nearly a j-ear, and, did not ; .eLcacy forbid, he could name several persons who! *vc been radi cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusse; i besides many * others who are in a fairway of bei g entirely re lieved. The following is the Ipngua te of the com mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the Radical Cure of Hernia. I “ The instruments of Dr. Chase |iave effected the permanent and accurate retention of the in testines in every case of Hernia observed by the committee, without material inconv*j|iience to the patient, and often under trials morl severe than are usually ventured upon by those v|io wearother trusses; trials that would be imprulent with any other apparatus known to the commftee.” “ The committee are induced by the foregoing conclusions to recommend, in strongfeerms, the in struments of Dr. Chase to the tonfidence of the profession, as* the best known cleans of me chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the Souther Medical and Southern Journal, published in our o 'n city. “ All must admit of the radical ci ;e of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dcci edly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Persons from a distance can haveth instruments applied, upon application at the office and all ne cessary information given to enable t em to adjus it themselves. The poor, who are L icring under this afflicting complaint, will be treat! J gratuitous ly upon presenting a certifcate,from s< neresponsi* hie person,of their pecuniary disabilit .

MILES’ COMPOUND EXIIRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for C lomel, and does not belong to the family of quaci medicines; for the reason that the component pa; s are made known to the faculty, or any one el I* that may wish to know, b f any of tne agents k &ping them for sale. Since this discovery so lo |g and anx iously looked for, some one in almost ie extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing not i ore aosuiu than for one to offer meal from the co U stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising jie Tomato so far North. I Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the propi etor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great >tenefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in h (nor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are Cl that they profess to bo, and will do for others •’what they have done lor such as mav have use» t them • as this is a vegetable of great use, and vjllue it will doubtless be valuable information to j imilies to know that the Yellow are just doubly l s valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twi|; as much of the hapatine, or active principle, andl vhcn used as a daily vegetable will be found toj keep the system in much better condition thai| the other kind; many will recollect with whaiitrembling anxiety calomel has been given to ch-ldren.and how they then wished for a substitute. It has long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that thtfr contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, tor the reason that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery, they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use tbs Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, willlioon be in this city. We all know something about this.

Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer all persons suffering from these diseaes to the thousands of cures that his preparation has accom plished, and to the numerous strange and highly respectable testimonials which have, from time to time, been published to that effect in New York and other places. So certain and searching is this Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has never been known to fail. The following letters are selected from hundreds of others of a like de scription. It will be proper that all persons using he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing. Since the introduction of this remedy to the public, various empirics have been palmed upon the coun try, Nostrums and Lotions, aud Liniments, and “Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are calculated, more or less, to injure the system rather than re move any complaint. In proof of the estimation in which the Embrocation is held by respectable men in the medical profession, as well as by the thousands of persons who have been effectua ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well and popularly known to the entire society in New York, and whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838.

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spobn’s remedy for this distressing cumpaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so m tch suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual preventiv t, or cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the most credulous. The principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is an a milted fact that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim arily from the stomach —those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured that ihis organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that Ih-sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s respiration of jhe natural and healihy functions of the system. 1 his object.

Indeed the’speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds, corns, fever gores,chilblains, w hile swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, Are.

Thus, if prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in rive days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate easeful w hite swelling that can be ima go ed, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful thatth.y will j at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from | perva ting the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every extci nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of man or beast.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide ot experiment, and now stand before the public as high in reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas, iexas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine tha* has ever been prepared for the relief of sutfeiiug man. They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to carry them ; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable evidenced of their goad effects. The certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred ol which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medical been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may w ith truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. . They are in general use as a family medicine and there are.thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply alwaj s on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsj', Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing neither nausea, griping no. debilitv. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca, March 3d, 183 S: Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pil’s; and I won Id add, that you may make use oi them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years ; and so great are the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house without them. I will not enumerate Lhe afflictions they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they were many, and of very opposite natures, which has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim ple purifier of the system, and therefore eqtially the enemy of every disease. I will mention one case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the very verge of the grave. She was attended by the most eminent physicians that money could procure; but all their efforts to restore her to health, or even to mitigate hersuffer ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,we ail consid ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex pect ng every day to be her last, your pills were introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal pable were their effects that three doses visibly re lieved her, and in less than three months she was perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all who were witness of it, (but more especially the j suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to I miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more ! of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills were equally successful in rescuing the patients from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in this section of the country ? But this I presume you know from the immense quantity you dispose of I may mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, I never heard an individual complain of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Ral eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. 1 am, with sen timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr, Peters, —Sir—For upward" of fifteen months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could tmd nothing — though 1 had applied to ever}' thing that gave me any thing like permanent relief. At length, how ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one of our best phj sicians, and 1 am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used I two boxes when I found that they had restored me to perfect health. Since then, vaiious members of my family have used them with equal success— and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise jou of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10,1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. 11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia : Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear 8ir —On the night of the llthinst.,l was called in great haste to the house of a fellow ci-izen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be | yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of your pills —four of which I administere I, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This ■ case,in connection with my name is at j our ser vice—‘and I have the pleasure to be able to inform you that your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice. Yours most resp’y. March 13, 1839. J. 11. IRWIN, M. D. Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838. —Peters’ j pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi j cine, those effects being produced by the differences I ol* the quantity taken, and are decidedly supeiior to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills. Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor, Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, jet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, it any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them with much success in sick headache and slight bil lious fever. Extract of a letter bjr Dr. Joseph Williams of Burlington, Vt., Julj' 9, 1537. —1 cordially recom mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no case dangerous, family medicine.

C., Sept. 27,1836. —I neverknev a single patent medicine that I could put the least confi dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are really a valuable discovery.

C., March 6, IS37.—For bilious fevers, sick head ache. torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine. Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or leans, La.,Oct. 9, 1837.—1 have received much as sistance in my practice—especially' in jaundice and yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in a month Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson, N. Y., Ju.ie 3, 1836. —I was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the best chemists in the United Stales, and felt assured that he would some daj r (from his intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and Imust acknowledge that his Vegetate Pills fully respond to my expectations. They are indeed a superior medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist the Physician, and the Philosopher. MtCKLEstiK!. CO. Feb, 7. 1387. Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for he last twelvemonths, I take pleasure in giving my testimony of their good effects in cases of dys pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious fevers, and other diseases, produced by inactivity of the liver. They are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article of the kind I ever used. GEORGE C. SCOTT M. D. Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore, Dec. 17,1836. —I am in the daily' habit of prescri bing them, (Peters’ Pills) and they in nearly all cases answered my purpose. I have discarded other medicines, some of them very good ones, in their favor. Chablotte, N. C., Jan. 1, 1837.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin : —My dear friend—l am raos gratified al ltie unprecedented popularity of your “Luc na Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, I M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had for several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener gies. lie was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity of debility and t istelessness. f or, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate,and the result perfect prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums in such ca-es ; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when 1 saw ihe “ Lucina Cordial” advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in it, at least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of his system ; and bets now, hiving used four bottles, as wellxs ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
